FYI: I feel good about this. "Use and Trade: This species is ground to make a starch to make a pesticide and treat disease in fish. It is also used for human medicinal purposes."

Ok not so much the pesticide but that a non GMO starch is being used and made from this plant is good news. It has plenty of seeds. I have a great interest in plants' medicinal purposes. I believe food is medicine, mostly preventative.
Looking forward to your opinions.
